Yea for Facebook!

Last night, thanks to Facebook, I met up with some of my sweet SAI sisters from good old college days. Karen, Silvia and Helen and I met up for dinner and drinks at Chili's. We all have reconnected via Facebook. It was so great to see these girls and catch up on life. Silvia is teaching and playing piano all over the place. She finished her masters at UTSA and then finished her doctorate at UT. Helen has 2 beautiful girls and has gone back to finish her degree and she is studying with Dr. Allan again. Helen and I were in Dr. Allan's studio together. Karen is doing great! Still a teacher in NISD and still teaching Yoga around town. She's getting ready to go to Italy and she just got back from Vegas.

Here's Silvia (left) and Karen (right).
Silvia is one of the most sweet natured ladies I know. Not only is she brilliant but she's so extremely talented! I remember hanging out with her many days and having great conversations and laughing a lot!

Karen was the FIRST person I met at UTSA freshman orientation and we were friends instantly! We were both music majors and we were in concert choir and both in madrigals. We sang in many operas together and just sang together a lot, period. We even got to go to Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil together on madrigal tour! What a trip. I need to dig out those pictures and share them with you.

Here's Helen and me. Helen's personality is as cute as her appearance! I would have to describe her as one who truly loves life, loves to live to the fullest, loves people and loves adventure. Her happy "glass is half full" attitude is so contagious. We spent a lot of time together in vocal seminar. Our studio had gosh, I don't know, about 18 people in it and we all would have our weekly private voice lessons and on Wednesdays we would perform for one another and then critique each other.




I had to share the Heartsong cd with these music friends...
